I'm 17 days out from vaser lipo of the abdomen ,flank, upper back, lateral thigh, anterior thigh, knee, sacrum and mons and vaser smooth to the buttock and back of thighs. Basically from nipples to knees. I'm still in my phase one garment, had to buy a second smaller one after a week ( first one shredded ). I'm back to work full time; off all meds and feel I'm back to baseline, except for swelling in my feet and ankles.

Answer: Garments are the surgeons responsibility
Garments must be provided by the surgeon. Of course they are cost accounted for but the surgeon must provide them. This Phase 1 and Phase 2 nonsense is just that...NONSENSE. I routinely will give a patient between 6 and 8 garments. Initially a larger garment is used and as the swelling dissipates I provide PAIRS of smaller and smaller garments. Some patient may go from 2X or 3X down to large or X Large. Every one is different. Tiny patients get down to small or petite. So all this is simple. As the patients shrinks, it is my responsibility to porvide the appropriate garment. Patients love this, and I am at peace knowing they have exactly the correct garment size....IN PAIRS.
